Even though you accept someone has died at the end of a long life, death still means that person has disappeared out of your life and you will never see them or communicate with them again. If that person is someone dear to you whose company and conversation were important to you then you will grieve deeply for them for a long time.
I attended an uncle's funeral yesterday' He died quite suddenly in his mid 80s. He was of sound mind to the end and he and his wife met at primary school and had been happily married for over 60 years. His wife is missing him and grieving every day. Half of her life and self have suddenly disappeared. He as left grown up children who loved him deeply, of course they grieve and she will miss him daily probably until she dies. That he died at an age when people do die is irrelevant.
